...closed and double paned.Defenestration is always fun too... and it's *serious* when the window you toss 'em out of is third-floor or higher.

I see this comment on social media all the time: "Obama doesn't want to take your guns - etc., etc., etc."
My response: "If he doesn't want my guns, then why does he want the serial number, make/model, and type of gun? What does the serial number of a gun have to do with my passing a background check? I can either pass the background check or I can't - they serial number, make/model, etc., has nothing to do with whether I can pass the check or not."
There is always the PCR option... a gun that never "officially existed" in the first place is one they don't know to look for.
I would accept a few gun laws regarding those people who have proven that they can't be trusted with a firearm; i.e., those who commit violent crimes with firearms, possibly those who have, using a firearm, threatened someone. That kind of thing.
+1 to all of this. ^^^I was referring to the background check specifically.
As I said, you are either legally qualified to buy a firearm or you are not. The serial #, make/model/type of the firearm has nothing to do with that fact.
The collection of the serial number, whether via a 4473 or other form, is just a means to collect that information that wasn't being collected before in "private" transfers. The reason why? To track who has what firearm.
Now, with a few exceptions (e.g., transfers to family members), as firearms are bought and sold, more and more firearms will get into the "system" and the gov. will have more complete data about who has what.
Why would the gov. want to know that?
The most likely reason?
Eventual restriction and confiscation.
Before the BGC laws, a person had plausible deniability if the gov. came around and wanted to confiscate firearms - a person could say (truthfully or not), that they sold the firearm, and there would most likely be no record of that sale, and no way for the gov. to track it down.
Now that is not possible.
That is my point.
Considered that myself and was bugged that it kept going. But in reality, can a troll eat if it's not at the table?<yawn> still feeding the troll that came and went like a fart in the wind?
"foment", "balderdash", goods words...Young feller your words are an insult to our intelligence, your whole purpose here is to foment a harsh response from us. I will answer your liberal dogma with just this. What part of the second amendment don't you understand. The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT be infringed. That is specific language and the framers of our constitution knew the English language quite well.
Shall not doesn't mean "except" when The president thinks he knows better, it doesn't mean may not be infringed except under special circumstances which the government might trump up, (there's that name again).
It means under no circumstance will it be infringed.
Here is the meaning of that word that we don't use very often these days. I got it just by Googling the word.
in·fringe
inˈfrinj/contravene, violate, transgress, break, breach;More
disobey, defy, flout, fly in the face of;
disregard, ignore, neglect;
go beyond, overstep, exceed;
infract
"the statute infringed constitutionally guaranteed rights"
antonyms: obey, comply with
So please don't feed us your left-wing Pablum and expect us to swallow it because it smells and tastes like BS to us who fear for our rights and our children's rights and grand children's ETC! Every time you let the government have a little control of your life, they want more, and then even more, they are like gluttons who just cant stop eating until they have eaten every thing up completely. All you have to do is watch what happens for even a short time. With your eyes and your mind wide open and you will learn that what I'm saying is true.
- act so as to limit or undermine (something); encroach on.
"his legal rights were being infringed"
synonyms: restrict, limit, curb, check, encroach on.
Every horrific thing that happens and gets big air time from the media, gives them fuel to demand more control, just watch then come back and apologize to the good folks here in this forum for insulting them with your balderdash and baloney.
End of rant,
Gabby
